James N."Moved to San Jose and needed to find a new Brazilian jiu jitsu gym (use to roll at "OPEN DOOR") and what i found was a bjj, wrestling, and judo gym. Did a free trial and signed up for a year contract the very same day. Gumby the instructor is a very personable guy who i believe creates an enjoyable and easy to learn"

Nicholas"First off, Gumby (Alan Marques) is a highly skilled black belt under Ralph Gracie who actually teaches 95% of the classes. He is an incredibly gifted Jiu Jitsu instructor who's whole life revolves around Jiu Jitsu, his students, and Heroes Martial Arts. The facility is HUGE with endless amounts of mat space and not to mention it is kept up very well. The students who are part of Heroes truly take after their head instructor. They are dedicated, eager to learn, eager to push each other to higher levels, and a complete pleasure to train with. Not to mention, a bunch of really strong skill sets throughout all belt levels. Simply put, Heroes is an amazing place to train"

Whether your are a brand new martial artist or a seasoned fighter,  you will definitely have the ability to reach your maximum potential with Gumby. His facility is clean with plenty of space. The guys in the gym are very welcoming (no meatheads and egos are checked at the door). Get your Jiu Jitsu"

All the other instructors and classmates are also extremely helpful and easy going. No egos!

Tom G.

Tom G."I have my training home but Gumby is a friend of my instructor and I have been fortunate to have trained with him in the past.  So when he opened his own place I had to check it out.  Its a good workout, the instruction is top notch and the facility is airy and wide open. If I needed to find a new training spot I would put Heroes at the top of my"
